This invention relates` to 'improvements in batteries, and moreparticularly to B batof Red Wing,

teries adapted for use in connection with an object of the invention animproved construction and arrangement of battery box and cover withdevicesin the cover for-moving the positive and negatlve terminals ofthe cells radio and the like, beingv to provide into Contact.

A further object is to provide a battery of the character described, inwhich the cells can be replaced at small costv and by an 'amateur sothatthe expense of the battery can be reduced to a minimum. f j

With these and other objects in view, the

invention consists in certain novel features of construction andcombinations, and arrangement of parts as will be more fully hereinafterdescribed and pointed out inthe claims.

Tn the accompanying drawings- Figure l isa plan view of my improvedbattery partly in section.

. Fi re 2 is a view in verticalsection on the line 2 2, of Figure 1.v

1 represents my improvedbattery 'box which may of course, contain anynumber of battery cells 2,\although of these cells whichll deem a.preferable nurnber for ordinary radio use. 3 represents the cover of myimproved box, which is wlescoped upon andtits the box 2, and isrovidedwith a re-inforcing sheet 4: whic is I. preferably of ber. Theupper ends of the these clips 5 are preferabl Gti ox l have -metal clips5 secured thereto, of sheet metal and are clamped to the wa l of the boxand are provided with bendable tongues 6, which are projected throughslot 7 in the top 3 and are then bent down and around the edge, orcorner, of the cover to securely clamp the cover on the box.

The sheet t is provided .with internally screw threaded rivets 8 whichare preferably of fiber and which receive adjusting screws 9, the upperends of which latter are made with screw driver receiving grooves 10 tofacilitate the adjustment of the screws.

and a resident full, clear, and exact descrip- T have shown eight' cancheaply replenish cells, or re-arrange cells as he may desire.

Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangementof partsv described without departing from my invention, and hence T donot limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myselfat. liberty to make such changes and alteration-s as fairly fall withinthe spirit and scope of the appended claims.

T claim:

1. A battery box of the character described, comprising a box orreceptacle, a cover-on the box having'slots therein, metal clips securedto the box, bendable tongues on the clipsy rojected'through the slots inthe cover and ent against the cover securing thecover on the box, andcontact closing screws supported by the cover.

'2. Ar batterybox of the characterv described, comprising a box orreceptacle, a cover on the box having slots therein, metal clips securedto the box, bendable tongues on the clips projected through the slots inthe cover and bent against the cover securing the cover on the box, areinforcing sheet of insulating material in the cover, internally screwthreaded rivets in the sheet, screws projecting through the sheet andcover and aving screw driver receiving grooves in their outer ends, andenlargements on the inner ends of the screws adapted to close contactsof cells within' the box.

3. A battery box of the character described comprising a box orreceptacle, a cover on the box, devices on the box securing the coverthereon, a reinforcing sheet of insulating material in the cover,internally screw threaded devices in the sheet, screws projectingthrough the sheet and cover, and enlargements on 'the inner end-s of thescrews adapted to close contacts of cells within the box.
